Lovely, easy gravel paths. Can get busy at weekends with walkers etc, so can be a bit slow going. But early morning, weekdays etc usually all pretty good.

You can't help but pass through the area on the way to Lyveden via a disused Railway Track. You can park there but there is a charge, which is why we park where the ride starts. However, there is a visitor centre there and you can get food and drink and toilets are available.
